9.Many of us enjoy doing it:you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high angle,making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more defined.You turn to your best side and click.There it is-your selfie.
Over the past year,"selfie"has become a well-known term across the globe.This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as:"A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smartphone or webcam and up-loaded to a social media website."
Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends.And selfie culture has become especially relevant for young people.As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online,according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center.
So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?
"The cult (狂熱) of the selfie celebrates regular people,"Pamela Rutledge,a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology,told Vogue magazine."There are many more photographs available now of real people than models."
Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online."I like having the power to choose how I look,even if I'm making a funny face,"Samantha Barks,19,a high school student in the US,told Vogue.
In addition to self-expression and documentation,selfies"allow of a close friendship for long-distance friends,because you can see each other's faces every day",wrote Casey Miller at The Huffmgton Post.
But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems,"There's a danger that your self-esteem may start to be tied to the comments and‘likes'you get when you post a selfie,and they aren't based on who you are-they're based on what you look like,"Weber told Vogue."When you get nothing or a negative response,your confidence canplummet."
63.With the first paragraph,the author intends toB.
A.tell us the fun of taking a selfie
B.describe what a selfie is
C.introduce where the selfie came from
D.inform readers that the selfie is popular among teenagers
64.Why is selfie culture so popular according to the article?A
a.It enables people to choose how they look.
b.It helps people improve their self-esteem.
c.It's a chance for ordinary people to show off themselves.
d.It is believed to be a helpful way to develop a new friendship.
e.It is considered a good way to stay connected with friends that are far away.
A.a(chǎn),c,e          B.b,c,d     C.a(chǎn),b,c          D.b,d,e
65.What is Jill Weber's attitude toward selfies?C
A.She thinks they are a good form of self-expression and documentation.
B.She believes the disadvantages of selfies outweigh the advantages.
C.She is worried that people's self-esteem might be affected by how others react to their selfies.
D.She thinks that selfies can help people learn about their friends based on who they really are.
66.The underlined word"plummet"in the last paragraph probably meansD.
A.rapidly develop                
B.greatly exaggerate    
C.become dangerous                
D.quickly fall.

分析 近年來(lái),自拍成了人們非常熟悉的詞匯.自拍是指人們自己用數(shù)碼相機(jī)或手機(jī)等對(duì)自己進(jìn)行拍照,人們可以對(duì)拍攝的效果進(jìn)行修飾.但是一些心理學(xué)家指出有的人自拍成癮,常常想自拍并且將照片上傳到社交網(wǎng)站,以彌補(bǔ)現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中自尊心的缺失.

解答 BACD
63.B 主旨大意題.在文章首段中作者描述了人們自拍的過(guò)程,很形象地告訴人們什么是"selfie",由此判斷作者的目的是給人們解釋什么是"自拍",選B.
64 A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章在第四段提出問(wèn)題"what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?",然后在第五、六、七段分別解釋了自拍文化流行的原因,由此判斷選A.
65.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容"There's a danger that your self-esteem may start to be tied to the comments and‘likes'you get when you post a selfie,and they aren't based on who you are-they're based on what you look like,"可知Jill Weber對(duì)此現(xiàn)象非常擔(dān)心,選C.
66.D 詞義推斷題.根據(jù)本段心理學(xué)家Jill Weber所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容可知她認(rèn)為人們的自信很可能會(huì)和別人對(duì)自拍的反應(yīng)聯(lián)系起來(lái),如果人們對(duì)他們的自拍沒(méi)有反應(yīng)或者是不好的反應(yīng),那么人們的自信就會(huì)降低,故答案選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過(guò)文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來(lái)勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說(shuō),閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  (3)排除用于過(guò)于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

Racism again affected Anderson in 1939.When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington,DC,the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color.She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75 000people.In 1955,Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as"heard only once in a hundred years".She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958and won the UN peace prize in 1977.Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

17.If someone drops a fork at Dinner in the Sky,a seven-ton platform may have to be lowered 50meters to pick up a new one.Joining a growing trend (傾向) for extreme dining---from supper in the dark to eating in the jungle---Dining in the Sky takes the concept to new heights,with a selected group of guests sitting around a table suspended (懸掛) 50meters in the air.
You could be eating above a forest,a beach or in the midst of a European capital,floating above landmarks usually only seen from the ground.Whatever the location,the aim is to elevate(提高) dinning out of the ordinary.
That's the case with the Brussels edition of Dinner in the Sky,which during June gives 22dinners at a time the chance to enjoy gourmet(珍饈的) food while suspended near sites such as the Royal Palace and the famed Atomium(原子塔).
"I just thought,wouldn't it be nice if we could eat up here?"explained Stefan Kerkhofs,one of the Belgian creators.
Kerkhofs,who used to set up bungee-jumping and amusement park installations,partnered with marketing executive David Ghelys to develop Dinner in the Sky six years ago.The two now travel the world putting on dramatic dining shows.
Kerkhofs has designed and built 40platforms and charges up to 250euros a head for the experience,with Las Vegas,Barcelona,Paris,Monaco and Tokyo all popular destinations(目的地).
Besides the beautiful views from up above,Dinner in the Sky also ensures that the food is first-class,with some of the world's top chefs preparing the meals.One recent menu included gourmet dishes such as foie gras (鵝肝) and lobster with lemongrass.
Of course,Kerkhofs has to think seriously about security,too.Diners are carefully strapped (捆綁) into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster (過(guò)山車(chē)) and elevated gently by crane to the height,which depends on wind and other weather conditions,but hits a maximum of 50meters.

66.What is"Dinner in the Sky"?B
A.It's an idea of kerkhofs and David Ghelys.
B.It's an event in which guests dine at heights of up to 50meters above the ground.
C.It's an event that guests dine over the forests.
D.It's an event that guests dine over the the European capitals.
67.The aim of Dinner in the Sky is toA.
A.elevate dining out of the ordinary
B.show off the people's fortune
C.call on people to protect the environment
D.train people's courage
68.Guests of Dinner in the Sky can enjoyC.
A.spectacular views from up above and fresh air
B.first-class food and fresh air
C.spectacular views from up above and first-class food
D.fresh air and gourmet dishes such as foie gras
69.How do creators ensure diners'safety up in the air?C
A.Diners are put into a steel box.
B.Diners should put on expensive and strong clothes.
C.Diners are strapped into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster.
D.Diners ate strapped into the buildings similar to those on a rollercoaster.
70.Which of the following is True?D

14.This week,we talk about the application process for American colleges and universities.This is part eight in our Foreign Student Series.
Earlier,we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world.We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States.And we talked about programs that can be completed online.
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study,then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you.Be sure to choose more than one.Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.
Some students want to attend a small college.Others want to go to a big university.If a really big university appeals to you,then there are ones likeOhio State.That university in Columbus,Ohio,in the Midwest,has almost fifty-two thousand students.There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.
Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site.You can pay the application charge online with a credit card.Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online.
You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.
Completing a college application can take some time.But answering all the questions is not enough.Another important step is taking admissions tests.The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take.Another one is the ACT.
Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL--the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series,write to special@voanews.com.

1.Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy.But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services.Today's advertisements,or ads,try to get consumers to buy certain brands.Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can,sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing,eat a special kind of cereal,or see a movie.Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
For example,you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket.There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves.You may not have space on a shelf for another.But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box,you may want it.
Advertising must get attention.To be effective,it must be exciting,entertaining,or provide some pleasure.The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product.The idea is what the ad is really selling.One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports.That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

21.What is discussed in this passage?B
A.The content of modern advertising.
B.The skills of modern advertising.
C.The results of modern advertising.
D.The writing of modern advertising.
22.According to the passage,a good advertisement shouldA.
A.be both persuasive and effective
B.give people useful information
C.show people a product
D.show people a new idea of a product
23.From the passage,we know thatD.
A.modern advertising has less effect on customers
B.once customers see ads about a new cerea1,they are sure to buy it
C.cereal can make people strong
D.cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
24.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.
B.Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.
C.It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.
D.Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

77.Dso,where do you go to find English speakers with like-minded interests?The most obvious places to look are Google and Yahoo.These popular Internet sites are bursting with groups and forums.
